My eyes are screaming at me at the thought of a blue LED dashboard. My eyes struggle so hard with blue LED lights. I've wound up taping over every single blue LED due to this.

Funnily enough the only example I know of of a blue lit dash was also Nissan circa 1990 or so in their Maximas. Unsure if they were doing other models blue around that time and it was an analog dash with blue back-lighting.

If I remember correctly Volkswagen had this in the 2000 era as well

They did. It wasn’t LED, but I thought it looked great; easy on the eyes and easy to read at night.
